A pile of cash, a dash of passion, and an assortment of creativity could turn this Ford Parcel van into pure gold.

P1 truck has a 3.5-liter I-6 engine with about 17,000 miles on the odometer, backed by a four-speed floor-shift manual transmission.The big delivery rig can be separated into three areas: the cab section with the swivel driver's seat and additional rear-facing flip-up seat; the middle section with the sleeping quarters and a sitting area; and the airy, open rear section revealed via side panels that flip up and fold down. Of course, that rear cargo area most recently housed Pony Cycles.

Whereas most RVs have solid side walls on which to mount stuff and place things like cabinets, beds, kitchens, and bathrooms, you perhaps lose that advantage to some degree with the flip-up and fold-down side panels. However, those panels may allow for new creativity. Perhaps the fold-down panels could be supported, acting as make-shift slide-outs for more square footage.

No matter what route a builder chooses, this might be the most tantalizing vehicular canvas for creativity we've seen in a long time. SEMA 2023, anyone?
